RewriteCond problem with .htaccess

Okay, so I have an old page that uses a system with variable in the URL query, and I want to update that page to a new version where I have changed this information.

What I have on the old page are URLs like this:

http://www.website.com/index.php?lang=en&act=art

http://www.website.com/index.php?act=con&lang=fr

(notice that act= and lang= may be on different spots in the query).

What I need is to redirect people getting to those URLs to the new query names.

What the new system looks like:

http://www.website.com/index.php?language=english&page=articles

http://www.website.com/index.php?language=french&page=contact

(notice that I need language= to be first all the time now).

This should be possible with a simple expression I belive.

#RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=(.*)
#RewriteRule ^index.php(.*) /index.php?page=%1 [R]

Something like this? But it's not working out for me.

If it's not possible or good to do it by rules, I have a list of exact URLs that I want replaced, and I'll gladly do it manually as long as the query-strings (anything after? will be recognized and I can control it).

So what I would also do is a manual list of:

http://www.website.com/index.php?act=pre&lang=fr

http://www.website.com/index.php?language=francais&page=articles

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Henrik
